Wonderful lake home and property!My family had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful place. All good…bedrooms, bathrooms, open layout, well stocked kitchen, extra refrigerator & freezer, huge yard, and pontoon boat made this a pleasant experience.Only small negative was the lake was mucky but great Northern Pike fishing!

Thank you, Nancy! We’re so glad you and your family had such a wonderful vacation at Hartley Lake Hideaway. It means a lot that you enjoyed the home, spacious yard, stocked kitchen, extra refrigerator and freezer, and the pontoon boat. We’re also happy to hear the Northern Pike fishing was a success! We appreciate your feedback about the lake conditions. Water levels have been unusually low this season, which has made some shoreline areas a bit muckier than normal, and we’re continuing to look for ways to improve the waterfront experience. We’d love to host you and your family again! Thanks again.
